Author here. I use the term 'genuinely' too often, but that's just me. I do that when speaking here as well. Suffice to say that I'm not a native speaker, so that might have something to do with it. I will go over the te

We use httpmock [1] for lychee, and it works quite well. Haven't looked too closely at the differences yet. [1] https://docs.rs/httpmock/latest/httpmock/

As a counterpoint, I quite enjoyed the writing style. Not everything has to be summarized. To me, it was more about the human experience.

Recently watched Mickey 17 and it reminded me a bit of Idiocracy. Maybe someone is looking for related movies.

Fair point. Your wording was a bit strong, but I assume you meant well. I will update the article.

Author here; thanks! I had the same impression, which is why I started writing these short-form articles about idiomatic Rust. The blog post overview is here: https://corrode.dev/blog/

Do you mean `Arc<Mutex<T>>`? Yeah, I agree. Wrote a blog post on that topic as well: https://corrode.dev/blog/prototyping/ The title is a bit of a misnomer, but it's about beginner-friendly escape

The thing is, once you internalized the concepts (ownership, borrowing, lifetimes), it's very hard to remember what made it difficult in the first place. It's "curse of knowledge" in some sense. What's changed since

For people who don't get the reference, this might be referring to the notoriously gnarly task of implementing a doubly-linked lists in Rust [1] It is doable, just not as easy as in other languages because a production-grade linked-lis

In my book that's not a guess, but a hypthesis, which is indeed a great way to narrow down the problem space. What I meant was to avoid blind guessing in the hope of striking luck, which comes back to haunt us most of the time.

Author here. That's the answer. Or at least it used to be the answer when I still cared about analytics. Nowadays, friends send me a message when they find my stuff on social media, but I long stopped caring about karma points. This is

Author here. The site was down because I'm on Cloudflare's free plan, which gives me 100k requests/day. I couldn't care less if the site was up for HN, honestly, because traffic costs me money and caches work fine. FWIW,

True, I should add the wrapping types. They are actually quite useful if you know that you have a fixed range of values and you can't go above the min/max. Like a volume dial that just would stay at "max" if you turn up

Genuinely curious, what's wrong with that? Did you expect a different platform like Slack?

Author here. That sums it up pretty well. I don't mind making quick decisions, but the execution should be deliberate. One of the best things of working for myself is that all-hands meetings are pretty short. I have an idea, I ask a fe

Author here; pleasantly surprised to see this on HN! This started off as a rant with a friend a few days ago. We both lamented the sorry state of the web, particularly web browsers. There's a monoculture that we both have trouble under

Author here. Thanks for posting. Just to clarify, there are some cases where globs make sense, e.g. for importing types in tests: struct Foo; struct Bar; mod tests { use super::*; } Apart from that, I use globs very rarel

Good question. I asked Jakub, and he said they don't currently use camera feed in their flight controller. The video feed is routed outside the flight controller through a telemetry module.
